Sep 02, 2023NBA Fans React to Dillon Brooks’ Elbow to Ja Morant in Grizzlies-Rockets
Oct 27, 2024The Memphis Grizzlies, following a season-opening victory against the Utah Jazz, took a trip south to take on the Houston Rockets on Friday night. The Rockets took a loss to the Charlotte Hornets to begin their season, so this is a good opportunity for the Grizzlies to pick up a strong road win and get off to a 2-0 start to the season.
In the middle of the first quarter, which ended up tied at 38 points apiece, former Grizzlies and current Rockets forward Dillon Brooks pump-faked with Ja Morant guarding him, and elbowed him while the Grizzlies guard was in the air.

Naturally, fans across the league -- and specifically of the two clubs -- had a strong reaction to the play from the two former teammates.
